he used his drill with a 'door set' drill attachment to cut notches in two 2x4s that were scrap from other projects.

we got steel rings and steel 's' hooks which he closed on end of over the rings, slid them on and stuck it above the window.

I have added more over the years but it's still my favorite 'design on a dime' thing in my kitchen. and in a small kitchen, it freed up so much space in my cabinets that i needed for other things.
